US Patent 7595857 Method of fabricating liquid crystal display device

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device includes: preparing a first substrate in which a plurality of first panels is formed; preparing a second substrate in which a plurality of second panels is formed; forming a seal pattern around an outer edge of the panel, the seal pattern defining an active region and a dummy region and having at one side a protruding portion extending to the dummy region; dropping liquid crystal more than the reference amount to the active region; bonding the first and second substrates together by the seal pattern; separating a plurality of liquid crystal panels by cutting the first and second substrates, the liquid crystal panels being formed by bonding the first and second panels; and removing surplus liquid crystal from the liquid crystal panel by pressurizing the liquid crystal panel. Accordingly, image quality deterioration due to an insufficient or excessive amount of provided liquid crystal is prevented by forming the protruding portion at the seal pattern and removing the surplus liquid crystal from the liquid crystal panel or providing liquid crystal through the protruding portion.
